Only Allah truly knows what stage of life I am in.
I can't even say I'm living. I'm just surviving, one day at a time.
I don't have my parents or relatives by my side. I'm trying to build my life on my own. Even with all these struggles, I still thank Allah because I know He has still been kind to me. For the big decisions I made at such a young age, Allah has never left me alone. My life is full of hard work, but at the end of the day, no one can say I chose the wrong path.
I make my own mistakes, and I try to fix them myself. I face my own problems and search for my own answers. Every single day, I ask myself, "Can you win this battle?" Because this is a battle I started alone.
The truth is, I'm not doing well.
Alhamdulillah, I'm still here. I'm still breathing. And I still have complete faith in Allah. Insha'Allah, one day all this pain, struggle, and patience will lead me to success.
